Creatine is non-time dependent, just take 3g a day and you will be fine. If you are doing IF I would still suggest keeping BCAAs out of the workout, pre or post...fine , but not intra. Take them leading up to your fast breaking meal.

Any reason? It really makes no difference, although I'd say just go in totally fasted without bcaas and take some leucine before you break the fast. That way you don't use the amino for glucogenesis to burn during your workout.

i always take bcaa's during my workout. I have always understood it to be a positive thing, what is the reason not to ?

IVe found no difference in my workouts with taking creatine before or after, creatine works on muscle saturation. Once they are saturated you just need to keep dosing it at 3 g a day. And yah why no BCAAs pre workout/intra workout, ive always found it to never hurt.

Way better ways to take them, you can search my old posts about it or mr.cooper69's posts too.

creatine research has come so far, who remembers all the loading, unloading, grape juice, pre post saturation mania that was the late 90's early 2000's

I do! Except I took mine with apple juice I had to hide taking it from my friends and wrestling coaches lol.

Creatine is an amazing supplement for all that it does and should be a staple in my personal opinion. I just go mono (no boating problems) any time of the day usually in the morning. It is one of the most researched, proven effective and safe for a reason.
